About the show
Programme
Aaron Copland: Appalachian Spring
Errollyn Wallen: Violin Concerto
Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 7
Performers
Anna Handler: Conductor
Philippe Quint: Violin
A lone clarinet sounds over a bed of shimmering strings and in an instant, Copland transports us to the wide open spaces and flowing brooks of the Appalachian mountain range through his music for the tender, hope-filled ballet Appalachian Spring. From the gentleness of the American Mid-West, the chiming of church bells in Errollyn Wallen’s Violin Concerto ushers in a personal depiction of memories from the early life of our soloist, Philippe Quint, before Beethoven takes us back to dance in the riotous rhythm of his mesmerising Seventh Symphony.
Join us at 7pm in the main auditorium of the Ulster Hall to join our Artistic Director Patrick McCarthy and composer Errollyn Wallen for a pre-concert talk.
